What recent reviews say

Funding Assist has built a consistent track record across SMSF loans, refinancing, investment property finance, and home purchases. Every review highlights the team's ability to walk clients through complex processes with patience and transparency, cut through jargon, and stay available when questions arise. Whether handling tight borrowing situations, business clinic expansion, or property investment, reviewers say the staff go past checkbox service to understand what each client actually needs.

Settlement timelines stand out: SMSF approvals that typically take weeks arrived in days, and refinancing for medical practices moved without delays. Clients also report being matched with lower rates than they expected. The experience feels personal rather than transactional, with individual team members named across multiple reviews as the reason the process stayed stress-free.

Empower Wealth Advisory

Empower Wealth Advisory

4.9(821)✓ Google-verified

Most clients describe working with Empower Wealth across mortgage broking, buyers agents, financial planning, and tax as a turning point. The team delivers on complexity, handles settlement hurdles without flinching, and communicates each step. Staff respond within a day, explain reasoning, and tailor advice to long-term strategy rather than a quick sale. However, a small group paid premium fees (16k–7k) to buyers agents and felt steered toward mismatched properties or left hanging after initial consultations. Two reviewers refinanced elsewhere for better rates and higher borrowing capacity after being told no by Empower. A Brisbane property direction cost one client significant opportunity. These gaps matter most when you're new and trusting the advice.
